RSL still not eating.

[firthy13]

I purchased a RSL a week ago, and he still isn't eating. It looks like he is picking a very small scraps on the bottom of the tank, he just isn't rushing towards the food when put in tank. I'm feeding blackworms, sera vipan flake, nls and frozen discus dinner containing beef hear blood worms and the other usual stuff found in commercially prepared foods.

Parameters are
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 2
Nitrite 0
Ph 6.5

The fish appears in really good condition, bright in colouration, alert and chasing other fish around. He is acting like the other 6 fish in with him.

What do you recommend I try?

I would guess its still settling in. A bit of live brine shrimp should tempt it.

Cheers,
Scott

How did he go with the live food?

Usually, once they start eating, there's no stopping them. Getting them to start is the difficult part.
